“Today, the court granted my protection order and issued a warrant of arrest, suspended, but ready to activate if the order is violated. Now I’m protected by more than just my voice, I’m protected by the law,” she wrote.
Bokaba also shared a word of encouragement to women in similar situations to hers.
“To every woman fighting to be heard: I see you. I am you. And I’m standing for us,” she added.
She concluded her message by expressing gratitude to God, her ancestors and every individual who believed her from the day she opened a case against Nota.
“Thank you, God, thank you ancestors, thank you to every soul that stood by me when I couldn’t stand on my own,” Itumeleng Bokaba said.

Briefly News journalist Jessica Gcaba spoke to Paula Quinsee, a relationship expert and psychologist, about the importance of community when dealing with a traumatic experience relating to GBV.
"It is essential for societies to offer support groups that provide healing and rehabilitation programs for victims," she said. "This helps to remove the feeling of being isolated," she added.'
Speaking to Briefly News journalist Tayananiswa Zvikaramba, relationship expert Paula Quinsee shared how social media backlash impacts the public perception of individuals involved in high-profile relationships, particularly when personal matters are concerned.
She explained that netizens often make up their version of events when they do not have the full story. Paula Quinsee said the public often chooses sides, turning one person into the bad guy and the other into a victim. She explained that this unfairly determines how the public judges individuals, even when the real situation is more complicated.

“@thandokuhlemabaso_temporarily, as I mentioned before, I ran out of emotional, psychological, financial energy to fight, so I had to reprioritise so my daughter can go to school, when I’m ready I’m coming back for season 2, it’s not over. That’s what he wants people to believe, that they were dropped they were not dropped I withdrew momentarily and even stated it but people don’t listen.”
